Chilli Practices

• Plant Habit – Robust and Erect
• Immature Fruit Colour – Green
• Fruit length- 12-13 cm
• Fruit Diameter – 1.5-1.6 cm
• Pungency – Low
• Purpose – Dual Purpose
• Maturity (Green Fruit) – 60-65 days after transplanting
• Remarks- High Yielding with deep red colour after ripening

• Row to Row 50-60 cm and Plant to Plant 30-45 cm

• 150;80;80 kg NPK/ hectare
• Apply 1/4 N along with other fertilizers as basal application and the remaining N should be top dressed in three split doses at 30 days interval after transplanting.

• Chilli needs judicious irrigation for proper growth and yield.
• Frequent and heavy irrigations induce lanky growth and cause flower shedding.
• Critical sages of irrigation are tenth leaf to flower, fruiting and after periodical harvests.
• During summer, apply irrigation at 4-5 days interval and during winter at 10-12 days interval.
• Furrow method is the most common method of irrigation.

• Practice shallow inter – cultivation particularly a few days after every irrigation to remove the weeds and to conserve the moisture
• 3-4 howing are normally needed to check the weeds growth
• Earthing up the seedlings 21 days after transplanting after first top dressing of nitrogen is quite beneficial.
• Regarding chemical weed control ,a pre plant application of fluchloralin ( Basalin 48 EC) @ 1.0-15 kg a.i/Ha followed by one hand weeding 30 days after transplanting is effective.

• Chilli thrips : Treat seeds with imidacloprid 70 % WS @ 12 g/kg of seed spray of imidacloprid 17.8% SL3.0 ml/10 lit.
• Green Peach aphid: Treat seeds with imidacloprid 70 % WS @ 12 g/kg of seed Spray the following insecticide Fipronil 5% SC 1.0 ml/lit or Imidacloprid 17.8 % SL 3.5ml /10 ltr
• Tobacco Cutworm: spray the following insecticides ; Emamectin benzoate 5% SG 4gm/ 10 lit or Indoxacarb 14.5 % SC 6.5 ml/10 ltr
• Yellow mite : Emamectin benzoate 5 SG 4 gm/10 ltr or quinaphos 25 % EC 1.5 ml/ltr

Diseases
Damping off

• Identification : Seedling killed before emergence, water soaking and shrivellign of stem factors favouring infection ost soils poor drainage 90-100 % RH soil temprature 20 C lodging of seedlings due to weaken stems. disease effected seedling are seed light brownish colour disease spead throuhg seeds and soil
• Control ; Treat the seeds with Trichoderma asperellum @ 4g/kg or Pseudomonas sluorescens @ 10 g/kg of seeds 24 hours before sowing. Drench wiht copper oxychloride at 2.5 g/1 @ 41 /Sq. Soil Dreching with copper oxychloride 0.25 %

Fruit rot and Die back

Powdery Mildew

Bacterial Leaf spot

Cercospora leaf spot

• Identification: Leaf lesions typically are brown and circular with small to large light grey cnetres and dark brown margins , The lesions may enlarge to 1 cm or more in diameter and sometimes coalesce. Secerely infected leaves drop off prematurely resulting in reduced yield.
• Control: Spray twice at 10-15 days interval with mancozeb 0.25 % or chlorothalonil (kavach) 0.1 %

Fusarium Wilt

• Identification: fusarium will is characterized by wilting of the plant and upward and inward rolling of the leaves, the leaves turn yellow and die Disease symptoms are characterized by an initial slight yellowing of the foliage and silting of the upper leaves that progress in a few days into a permanent wilt with the leaves still attached
• Control:Drenching with 1 % Bordeaux mixture or blue copper or fytolan 0.25 % may give protection. Seed treatment with 4g Trichoderma viride formulation or 2 g carbendizim per kg seed is effective .

Leaf curl

• Identification: Leaves curl towards midrib and become deformed. Stunted plant growth due to shortened internodes an leaves greately reduced in size. The virus is generally transmitted by whitefly, so control measures of whitefly in this regard would be helpful.
• Control:Seed infection can be prevented by spraying the seed plants with copper oxychloride or seed treatment with captan or thiram 4g/kg of seed followed by seed treatment with trichoderma viride 4g/kg

Mosiac Viruses

• Identification: Light green and dark green patches on the leaves. Stunted plant growth during early stages. Yellowing chloronic ring spots on leaves and fruits.
• Control: The infected plants should be uprooted and burnt or buried to avoid further infection, Nursery beds should be covered with nulon net or straw to protect the seedlings from viral infection. Raise 2-3 rows of maize or sorghum as border crop to restrict the spread of aphid vectors. Apply carbofuram 3g@ 4-5 kg /acre int he main field to control sucking complex and insect vectors selctively. if it is not possible spray the crop with systemic insecticides, dimesthoate 2ml of acephate 1g per litre of water.

• Identification : Seedling killed before emergence, water soaking and shrivellign of stem factors favouring infection ost soils poor drainage 90-100 % RH soil temprature 20 C lodging of seedlings due to weaken stems. disease effected seedling are seed light brownish colour disease spead throuhg seeds and soil
• Control ; Treat the seeds with Trichoderma asperellum @ 4g/kg or Pseudomonas sluorescens @ 10 g/kg of seeds 24 hours before sowing. Drench wiht copper oxychloride at 2.5 g/1 @ 41 /Sq. Soil Dreching with copper oxychloride 0.25 %

Fruit rot and Die back

Powdery Mildew

Bacterial Leaf spot

Cercospora leaf spot

• Identification: Leaf lesions typically are brown and circular with small to large light grey cnetres and dark brown margins , The lesions may enlarge to 1 cm or more in diameter and sometimes coalesce. Secerely infected leaves drop off prematurely resulting in reduced yield.
• Control: Spray twice at 10-15 days interval with mancozeb 0.25 % or chlorothalonil (kavach) 0.1 %

Fusarium Wilt

• Identification: fusarium will is characterized by wilting of the plant and upward and inward rolling of the leaves, the leaves turn yellow and die Disease symptoms are characterized by an initial slight yellowing of the foliage and silting of the upper leaves that progress in a few days into a permanent wilt with the leaves still attached
• Control:Drenching with 1 % Bordeaux mixture or blue copper or fytolan 0.25 % may give protection. Seed treatment with 4g Trichoderma viride formulation or 2 g carbendizim per kg seed is effective .

Leaf curl

• Identification: Leaves curl towards midrib and become deformed. Stunted plant growth due to shortened internodes an leaves greately reduced in size. The virus is generally transmitted by whitefly, so control measures of whitefly in this regard would be helpful.
• Control:Seed infection can be prevented by spraying the seed plants with copper oxychloride or seed treatment with captan or thiram 4g/kg of seed followed by seed treatment with trichoderma viride 4g/kg

Mosiac Viruses

• Identification: Light green and dark green patches on the leaves. Stunted plant growth during early stages. Yellowing chloronic ring spots on leaves and fruits.
• Control: The infected plants should be uprooted and burnt or buried to avoid further infection, Nursery beds should be covered with nulon net or straw to protect the seedlings from viral infection. Raise 2-3 rows of maize or sorghum as border crop to restrict the spread of aphid vectors. Apply carbofuram 3g@ 4-5 kg /acre int he main field to control sucking complex and insect vectors selctively. if it is not possible spray the crop with systemic insecticides, dimesthoate 2ml of acephate 1g per litre of water.

• Plant Habit – Bushy Vigorious
• Immature Fruit Colour – wrinkled glossy Dark Green
• Fruit length- 8-9 cm
• Fruit Diameter – 1.0-1.1 cm
• Pungency – High
• Purpose – Dual Purpose
• Maturity (Green Fruit) – 60-65 days after transplanting
• Remarks- Tolerance to LCV

• Row to Row 50-60 cm and Plant to Plant 30-45 cm

• 150;80;80 kg NPK/ hectare
• Apply 1/4 N along with other fertilizers as basal application and the remaining N should be top dressed in three split doses at 30 days interval after transplanting.

• Chilli needs judicious irrigation for proper growth and yield.
• Frequent and heavy irrigations induce lanky growth and cause flower shedding.
• Critical sages of irrigation are tenth leaf to flower, fruiting and after periodical harvests.
• During summer, apply irrigation at 4-5 days interval and during winter at 10-12 days interval.
• Furrow method is the most common method of irrigation.

• Practice shallow inter – cultivation particularly a few days after every irrigation to remove the weeds and to conserve the moisture
• 3-4 howing are normally needed to check the weeds growth
• Earthing up the seedlings 21 days after transplanting after first top dressing of nitrogen is quite beneficial.
• Regarding chemical weed control ,a pre plant application of fluchloralin ( Basalin 48 EC) @ 1.0-15 kg a.i/Ha followed by one hand weeding 30 days after transplanting is effective.

• Chilli thrips : Treat seeds with imidacloprid 70 % WS @ 12 g/kg of seed spray of imidacloprid 17.8% SL3.0 ml/10 lit.
• Green Peach aphid: Treat seeds with imidacloprid 70 % WS @ 12 g/kg of seed Spray the following insecticide Fipronil 5% SC 1.0 ml/lit or Imidacloprid 17.8 % SL 3.5ml /10 ltr
• Tobacco Cutworm: spray the following insecticides ; Emamectin benzoate 5% SG 4gm/ 10 lit or Indoxacarb 14.5 % SC 6.5 ml/10 ltr
• Yellow mite : Emamectin benzoate 5 SG 4 gm/10 ltr or quinaphos 25 % EC 1.5 ml/ltr
